I did send an email to the Atkins Center, but they haven't written back yet. I really hope somebody there does write back.

I am even thinking of looking for a new doctor myself. My doc didn't come right out and say he was against low-carb, but he saw me reading the Atkins book and said, "I'm not sure that's the right diet for you since you really don't have that much to lose"

My thought (which I kept to myself) was that it wouldn't matter if I wanted to lose 1 pound or 100 pounds, this way of eating is just healthier.

I am sugar-free for the first time in my LIFE. I am no longer trying every diet pill and formula that comes across my desk. I am no longer taking any prescription drugs to suppress my appetite or block fat or whatever.

There is a list of doctors that attended a conference on low-carb on the Atkins Center website. It's sad how few of them there were.

Good Luck on your tests next month!!!
